Funding Allocated to Major NCI Program Areas

Each fiscal year, NCI and other NIH institutes and centers report their obligations by mechanism. In addition to reporting by mechanism, reporting obligations by program structure is another way of showing how NCI obligates its funding each fiscal year.

For the purposes of reporting by program structure, NCI programs are categorized by budget activity. These budget activities include:

Research – categorized by the following research thrusts: cancer causation; detection and diagnosis; treatment; cancer biology

Resource Development – cancer centers, research manpower development, and buildings and facilities
